All garbage and refuse shall be kept in the 95 or 65 gallon containers
supplied by the Township.

If determined by Public Works that a larger container is needed,
it will be supplied by the Township and placed on a concrete pad that
will be supplied and installed by the user in a location that is accessible
and acceptable.

All Municipal Solid Waste (hereinafter referred to as "MSW") to be
collected by the Township shall be placed at the curbline in receptacles
as above described. They shall be set at the curbline approximately
four feet from any obstruction (trees, mailboxes, telephone poles,
guy wires, another container, etc.). No cars shall be parked in front
of containers. Such MSW shall be collected once weekly on a day scheduled
by the Township.

All recyclables shall be collected in accordance with the statutory requirements of N.J.S.A. 13:1E-1 et seq., also known as the "Solid Waste Management Act"; Section 21-3 of the Revised General Ordinances of the Township of Lakewood; administrative regulation, and as directed by the Department of Public Works.

The Township shall not be required to collect garbage or trash from
any slaughterhouse, poultry dealer, butcher or other establishment
where it is determined by the Board of Health either that more frequent
collections are required or that the placing of garbage or trash on
the sidewalk area near the curb for collection would be detrimental
to health, welfare and safety.

In the downtown area, notwithstanding the type of receptacle utilized
for MSW containment, no MSW shall be placed on the sidewalk area near
the curb earlier than 6:00 a.m. nor later than 9:30 a.m. on the regular
collection date scheduled by the Township.

In all residential zones, MSW contained in acceptable receptacles
as described in paragraphs a and b hereinabove shall not be placed
in the curb area for pickup before 6:00 p.m. of the day prior to the
regular scheduled day for pickup by the Township.

In the downtown area, MSW collection will occur daily, Monday through
Friday, weather conditions permitting, between the hours of 9:30 a.m.
and 11:00 a.m. All MSW containers are to be removed from curbside
immediately following MSW collection.

In all residential zones, all empty garbage cans and other receptacles,
including those receptacles utilized for the containment of recyclables,
shall be removed from the sidewalk area near the curb on the same
day as collected. In addition to the above, at all single family homes,
all empty garbage cans and other receptacles, including those receptacles
utilized for the containment of recyclables, shall be placed back
on the property at least behind the front yard setback.

It shall be unlawful for any person, excepting an employee of the
Township in the discharge of his duties, or an authorized garbage
and waste collector, to collect, pick up, rake or in any way disturb
the garbage or other refuse material of whatsoever nature deposited
in any receptacle laid or placed on any street or public place.

Receptacles
that are badly broken or otherwise fail to meet the requirements of
this section or of any other of the regulations which may be promulgated
by the Township may be classified as rubbish and may be collected
as such by the Township.

The Department of Public Works shall collect MSW only from residential
uses having less than four dwelling units and from those uses within
the boundaries of the downtown area set forth in paragraph i1 hereinabove
or by approval of the Township Committee.

Unless otherwise specified herein, the Department of Public Works
is authorized to establish schedules for the collection of MSW, including
garbage, trash, bulky waste and recyclables.

Items scheduled for bulk pickup may not be placed at curbside
for pickup earlier than the Saturday or Sunday before the scheduled
pickup. Bulk items shall be neatly set at curbside in accordance with
the Schedule attached hereto as Schedule A. All items scheduled for
bulk pickup must be generated by or from the residences at which the
bulk pickup is located. No construction or demolition materials will
be picked up.

The containers may not be placed at curbside for pickup earlier
than 5:00 p.m. the day before the scheduled pickup and the containers
must be removed no later than 6:00 p.m. on the evening of the pickup.

The Township provided containers must be placed away from and
out of sight of the street and may not be placed in the front yards
of homes when not scheduled for pickup.

Recycling materials shall be put at curbside no earlier than
5:00 p.m. on the day before the pickup and recycling containers must
be removed no later than 6:00 p.m. on the evening of the scheduled
pickup.

The recycling containers must be placed away from and out of
sight of the street and may not be placed in the front yards of homes
when not scheduled for pickup.

The Board of Health may promulgate additional rules and regulations
in order to insure the effective operation of the collection and storage
of garbage and trash and to insure the maintenance of proper sanitary
and health conditions throughout the Township.

In those instances where a household located within the Township
discovers a need for an additional Township issued refuse container
for municipal garbage collection, separate and apart from the original
Township issued refuse container issued at no cost to all households
located within the Township, the resident(s) shall notify the Public
Works Department of the need and, upon receipt of a forty-five ($45.00)
dollar refundable deposit, the Public Works Department may thereafter
issue the additional refuse container to the resident(s). Said fee
shall serve as a deposit for the use of the additional refuse container
and shall be refunded in full to the resident(s) upon the return of
the additional refuse container to the Township. In the event the
additional refuse container shall be lost or damaged, not due to the
fault of the Township, the deposit shall be retained by the Township.

It shall be the responsibility of the Department of Public Works
to maintain any and all records relating to the distribution/collection
of the additional refuse containers. Any and all refunds of the deposit
shall be issued through the Finance Department.

The provisions of this chapter shall not apply to tree surgeons
or gardeners removing the debris resulting from operations of their
trade; or to building or plumbing contractors removing debris arising
out of construction operations; unless said debris is removed by private
refuse collectors in which event the provisions of this chapter shall
apply.
